Many viewers are unsure about who the “My Way” singer is at the 2024 Paris Olympics closing ceremonies. The event’s final performance revealed a female singer dressed with a large circular hat, wearing diamond, heart-shaped earrings, and dressed from head to toe in a black outfit. She sang Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” live, starting soft and understated in the first half of the song before finishing the last few bars with stunning high notes that came paired with fireworks all along the rim of the Stade de France stadium. Here is more information on who sang “My Way” at the end of the 2024 Olympic Games.
Who sang “My Way” at the 2024 Olympic Games?
Yseult Marie Onguenet is the “My Way” singer at the closing ceremonies. The French singer-songwriter, who goes simply by “Yseult,” came into prominence after finishing near the top of a singing competition.
“My Way” was chosen as the last song of the ceremony since the music track comes from the song “Comme d’habitude” by Jacques Revaux. It connects France with the United States, who will be hosting the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Born to Cameroonian parents in Tergnier, France in 1994, Yseult became a well-known figure in France after coming in second place in the reality-tv “Nouvelle Star” singing competition, which is a French adaptation of American Idol. She released an album entitled “Yseult” in 2015 with Polydor Records, but has since released three extended plays as an indie artist. In 2021 the singer became an international spokesperson for L’Oréal Paris, and she was one of the featured voices for the 2024 song “Alibi” by Sevdaliza that has more than 63 million hits on YouTube.
The closing ceremonies had many surprising moments, including a vertical piano player, Tom Cruise doing a jumping stunt, and a performance on the Los Angeles beach that featured Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billie Eilish, and Snoop Dogg.
